This is Adrian's fourth visit to the mainland. Of course, it is his first official visit as chairman of one of the world's largest media groups. Therefore, it is necessary to face the influx of reporters, and to say a lot of seemingly pleasant but actually useless nonsense, and occupy the headlines of current affairs and entertainment sections of various media.

After all, in addition to being the chairman of the media group, he is also a legendary director. 80% of his films have been shown in mainland China, and there are a large number of fans.

However, Adrian's official visit to the mainland is not for these reasons. Although there are many business negotiations, those who have their own professionals are responsible for it. All he has to do is visit. That's right. To put it more simply, it's impossible to play with women this time. Such a high-profile is bound to attract a lot of attention. If the reporter takes some things that shouldn't be photographed, it will be a bit troublesome. His Playboy's name has been well-known.

In fact, at the party that night, those women who could easily get an invitation card were like moths fighting a fire, racking their brains to strike up a conversation with him. Most of them were in the entertainment industry. The road to fame of Lin Zhiling and Gao Yuanyuan, as well as how big and small shuangbing got into Hollywood, were no secret in this circle. What's more, Wang brothers often combined with AC media Make a sign.

So, as long as Adrian wants to play, it's OK. It's just that if they are caught by reporters, it's hard to say if there are some stupid women who want to use this stupid method to improve their fame, even though he owns many media companies in mainland China. But after all, it's not our own territory. It can't be as easy as your fingers.

The reason for such a high profile is that some business cooperation indeed needs to be negotiated in a formal way. Secondly, if you want to visit the mainland in a high-profile way in two years, you need to think carefully. Adrian is not Warren Buffett. He has the ability to let the stock market appreciate without a word - this is also a pass. However, he also admitted that he meant to return home in good clothes, but it was only a little, except for the reasons mentioned above. There are other small things that he needs to come to understand.

"There's no doubt that you're creating miracles. Even here, the prime place is still the same for three days," Adrian sighed, standing in front of the ground glass window of China hotel. "It's hard to imagine that when I came a few years ago, the Fifth Ring Road was just put into use. But now the sixth ring road is almost finished. It seems. The seventh ring road is certainly indispensable. "

Then he turned his head and laughed at the old man beside him: "I hope you won't build the ring road to America in the future."

"That's a good idea." The other party laughed and didn't care at all. "To tell you the truth, you are the media tycoon I've ever met who knows China best, Mr. Cowell."

After a pause, he added: "this is not a compliment. Your edict is better than many Chinese people to understand China. For example, yesterday's speech at Yanjing University. I personally agree with the film and the rest of it. "

"Is it?" Adrian picked his eyebrows a little unexpectedly.

"Of course," the other party nodded seriously, with a slight tone of contempt, "you are right. If those people can't do well within the rules, if they cancel the rules, they can do well?"

"Thank you." Adrian laughed, though. But he didn't pay much attention to it. Most of his compliments were in his words, and in his heart, I'm afraid the last few words were his favorite.

Just like all the great people who come to China, they will go to several famous universities to give speeches. Adrian can't avoid vulgarity, so he gave a speech on "new media and public" in Yanjing University yesterday. In fact, he wanted to go to Shuimu University at the beginning. Although most of the top leaders in this country come from Yanjing, the most influential ones are always from Shuimu, so he would like to see it.

However, after careful consideration, he gave up. Although Shuimu University also sent an invitation, his words were not sincere, more like dealing with it. Instead, Yanjing University was more enthusiastic. In order to avoid sending out wrong signals, Adrian finally chose the latter.

Most of the time, there is nothing to say about the speech. The draft of the speech is prepared in advance and given to the school authorities and some people. The schools who come to attend are also selected. However, sometimes there are always a few bold guys. When they say that the appearance of online video may lead to more personal movies, and then allow to ask questions, one student asks him what he thinks of Chinese movies.

"There is no doubt that Chinese films are trying to catch up with each other. Although the pace is faltering and sometimes the direction is not clear, it is indeed moving forward. I know "hero" has a poor reputation in mainland China, but in North America, it's a good movie. " Adrian replied in fluent Chinese that the whole speech was conducted in Chinese, which gave him a lot of surprised eyes and gave those who are preparing to show English no chance to play.

Originally, he only intended to say the last sentence, but the questioner was not satisfied with the answer. He immediately asked, "what specific gaps do you think China has in film production compared with Hollywood, from system to system?"

After this sentence came out, what he wanted to say was basically certain. Not only the students sitting near him took a glance at him, but also some school leaders sitting in the front also turned their heads slightly to show their concern."I get a general idea of what this classmate means." After a few seconds of pause, Adrian said with a smile.

This is Is this the tradition of Yanjing University? It's true that they are too young to be simple. In that case, he is not polite.

"In such a country," he suddenly raised his voice, "their film industry is just beginning to start, and the domestic market is occupied by foreign films. People are tolerant of films from other countries, even bad films, but are very strict with their own films. In order to support the domestic film industry, the government has to legislate to restrict foreign films and encourage domestic filmmakers to produce more and better works. But at the same time, they have set up various censorship committees. In order to ensure the box office and "purity" of films, they began to delete and ban films that they thought were not good. "

Speaking of this, Adrian laughed with a meaningful expression: "now, is there anyone who can tell me which country I'm talking about?"

The auditorium of Yanjing University was silent for a long time, and then a small but clear murmur came from nowhere: "if you take it as an example, it must not be our country."

All of a sudden, he laughed.

Adrian also laughed: "yes, the country I'm talking about. It was America in the first half of the last century. "

There was a buzzing sound, but it was developing rapidly. These students here did not know what he was talking about.

"Yes, I'm talking about the Hayes code," Adrian went on. "As early as 1915, state governments at all levels set up censorship committees, demanding that films be edited according to regulations. Otherwise, it will face the consequences of the ban. A few years later, state committees united to form a national organization. A few years later, the code for reviewing standards was published and implemented by will Hayes, the head of the organization at that time, so it was called Hayes code. There are 12 prohibitions in the whole code, including crimes, sex, religion and so on. Of course, whether they are violated depends on the attitude of the committee's reviewers. I think I saw the film "the flier" on the station, about the difficulties of Howard Hughes's film. I guarantee that the details are true. "

Low laughter sounded, with a bit of embarrassment, not because of the Hessian code, standing to see.

"I know that some students will say that times are different. The standard is not the same, it should be more free now, I agree with that, "Adrian raised his hands up. "In fact, the deeper the box office of Hollywood can be banned, the higher the imagination can be found in Shanghai."

There was another burst of low laughter, but the smiles of the students were meaningful, while those in charge of the school in the front row all exchanged a look uneasily.

"But I don't want to say that with the example of Hayes code," Adrian changed his words. "What I want to say is that Hayes code has ruled Hollywood for nearly 40 years from its official promulgation to its end. In these 40 years, we still have hell angel, Wuthering Heights, Casablanca, Roman holiday, binghur, There are many works that can be called classics! I believe it will be true even if we watch these movies in a few decades. "

His voice rose again. On the contrary, the voice of the students in the auditorium gradually dropped.

"So," Adrian said with a meaningful smile, "my question is, where is your hell angel, your Casablanca, your Roman holiday?"

Without waiting for an answer, he said in a loud voice: "if a person can't make the most basic movement of relaxing his wings under the non strict rules, how can I believe that you can fly higher and farther without the shackles of the rules, instead of doing Brownian movement?"

There were a few more chuckles, and then they went down quickly.

"I like China and I'm optimistic about China's potential," Adrian said again. "I don't think it's necessary to prove that."

Of course, there is no need to prove that among the American entrepreneurs visiting the mainland, his Chinese is absolutely the best.

"Although China's film industry lags behind the United States in all aspects, I still hope that China's film industry can develop, because Hollywood needs competition, and the United States needs competition. Don't excuse or dodge. This is a fact. For a long time in the future, cooperation and competition between China and the United States will be everywhere." He said seriously.

To be honest, he would prefer to use the word "rival". This neutral word can better reflect the current relationship between China and the United States. However, considering that others may not interpret it in his way, both sides may not please him at that time, so he finally replaced it with "competition".

"If there is no competition, there will be no vitality. If there is no vitality, there will be degradation and survival of the fittest. This is the truth that has been proved," Adrian's voice echoed in the auditorium. "Now Hollywood is in the position of seeking defeat alone. We are invincible in the global market, but because of this, many producers begin to think that as long as the special effects are done well, no matter how much investment they can make, they forget the most important point. The reason why a movie can be a good film is because it has a good story. "He raised his hands again, and many people present showed a look of thinking: "I first hoped that Europe could play this role, but they would rather stay in a small circle to keep warm and maintain their so-called" art "rather than go further. If I have seen the Allen Show in my network about this, I should be able to find it, issue 43, 2005

There were a few more embarrassed laughter.

"I also visited Japan, Korea and India, unfortunately, their markets are too closed. For example, India, they always like to add songs and dances to their movies, so I finally set my eyes on China. " Adrian finally slowed down and said with a smile. "You've done a lot of miracles, and you'll continue to do miracles, so why can't you do miracles on it? Although you still have a lot of way to go, although your filmmakers are still not in a proper position, although you still have many restrictions on your head, although your market has already had a scale, it is not mature and systematic enough, but I am optimistic about you. So, I wait. Waiting for you to adjust your attitude, waiting for you to get rid of the rules, waiting for you to be more mature, waiting for your challenge. "

There were warm applause.

The next day, all kinds of voices appeared on the mainland media, but they were barely in a neutral position. Some newspapers in the South ignored the words of maintaining a certain Bureau. Then he praised Adrian for being broad-minded. Who made him one of the super rich in the United States? Although some of the six generations of directors protested that some of the speeches were insulting, but no one cared. Because Adrian is also a super director, from Palme d'Or to the Oscars, it is his stage. No one has more types of works than him, neither can Kubrick. Can we blame his Chinese director in this respect Basically not.

In addition, it has aroused a lot of young people's sympathy. They think that the legendary rich man and director who speaks Chinese fluently from the United States are quite good. This is the person who is really good to China. In this case, those directors who are eager to show their sense of existence or hype are naturally not flattered on several sides, unless some of the cheeky guys basically stop.

Well, no matter how much trouble the speech at Yanjing University caused in mainland China, Adrian has already run behind his head. As for the United States, we have already passed through with Claude, and there will be no problem. What we really have to face is the old man who is almost 60 years old. The more compliments the other party makes, the more troublesome the next thing will be.

"It's a great honor for me to be praised by a mainland electronics giant like you, Mr. Ren." Adrian made a couple of polite remarks, then changed the subject: "well, let's talk about specific things."

"Of course..." Although Mr. Ren laughed, the embarrassment still fell into Adrian's eyes. What would it be?

"I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Cowell," Mr. Ren said directly after hesitating for two seconds: "your shares in bona Have you ever thought about selling it? "

Adrian blinked his eyes. In a few seconds, Adrian connected the cause and effect. Then he spent a few seconds thinking more clearly about the matter. He was not unprepared for the mainland government. He collected enough information. After Mr. Ren, who had little connection with his own industry, said he wanted to talk in private, he spent a lot of time preparing for it You can't imagine what they want.

"I don't think I have any violations, do I, Mr. Ren? Compared with Murdoch, I'm quite disciplined. " Adrian said with a smile.

Mr. Ren coughed, and his embarrassment became more and more obvious. At the same time, he was also a little annoyed. Obviously, he was unwilling to accept the task, and he wanted to face it.

"You know, generally The government does not allow... " He grinned bitterly, and finally said it bluntly: "to put it simply, you control too many industries."

"But I'm not over your line, am I?" Adrian looked a little aggressive. "I'm a very good rule-abiding person, as long as the other side also behaves."

It seems that the acquisition of majority of shares of Bona media group is due to the fact that they do not want to share most of the shares of Bona group with the whole world. This is why Mr. Ren is a messenger. He also has a military background, which can be regarded as a warpage among mainland officials and businessmen. Enterprises and the AC media holding shares in apple are somewhat connected. It is appropriate for Mr. Ren to deliver a message. The Wang brothers are not qualified enough.

However, if you think about it, adelain will understand that it is a kind of enterprise's hidden worry in mainland China.

Huayi, bona, Hairun, orange sky and so on, as long as they can rank on the top of the mainland media enterprises, basically have a foot in the door. As for those well-known IT enterprises, video, community, search, instant messaging Basically, he has not let go. Although he has always abided by the bottom line drawn by them, he is always the second or third shareholder, but in terms of number, it is too exaggerated.
